I remember when this show first aired in the UK, back then there was only 3-4 tv channels so a lack of choices meant the Arthur Daley hour got good ratings. What was intended as a post Sweeney vehicle for Dennis Waterman unintentionally made his co-star George Cole the scene stealing star. But it's depiction of London life in the 1980s was severely dated plus whenever episodes that featured other nationalities like Greeks, Irish, Italians and even Scots were played to clichéd stereotypes. However watching repeats it's a curious watching veteran actors like Lionel Jeffries, Beryl Reid and Max Wall making guest appearances plus aspiring ones like Paul Barber, June Brown and Ray Winstone.
